Description

Ivy Farmhouse is a farmhouse dating from the 16th century. It is constructed from rubble, brick, and timber framing, topped with a plain tile roof. The building has two storeys and consists of three bays. The two left-hand bays sit on a brick and rubble plinth, featuring 18th-century brick cladding on the ground floor and a repaired timber frame on the first floor. The right bay has 17th-century English bond brick on the ground floor and 18th-century brick on the first floor. The roof is hipped to the left and includes a central stack, along with a gable and end stack to the right. The facade has three 20th-century casement windows and a 19th-century plank door located in front of the central stack.
